Up & Away!

Good morning LIMettes!

After a week off work, I am back to normal now with the mad rushing around to fit in the Less Is More challenge before I go to work!

So imaging my horror when I saw that this week's challenge is 

UP IN THE AIR!

I, again, have nothing Stampin' Up! to fit this challenge! I have ummmmed and ahhhed at getting the Up Up & Away set, but as Jen has it, and I can borrow it if I need to, (doesn't help me now though!), I never have got round to getting it!

So some creative thinking again, and some drawing practice, and here is what I made...

Basically, I drew one balloon I was happy with, cut it out, drew round it twice, cut them out, and coloured them in! I had the challenge over at Fab Friday in my mind for the colours as I was going to make something to fit it last night but didn't get round to it!

The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Banners set that is free as part of the Sale-A-Bration promotion when you spend over £45!

Hoe I haven't spilt breakfast on my lappy whilst typing this I'll never know lol!

Have a fab Saturday!

For you

Hello again!

Ok, I know I don't usually post twice in one day, but here is a card I've just quickly made to fit the challenge over at The Paper Players. 

The challenge ends in a couple of hours and I missed it last week...I like entering their challenges :)

I have used some of my new stash! I always thought paper piercing was easy, but wow it is so much easier with the fab Paper Piercing Essentials pack!

The pennant is from the Hearts a Flutter bundle, and the banner is from one of the free Sale-A-Bration sets. The heart is from the tiny tags set.

I am also entering it into CAS(E) this Sketch...I decided to copy it almost exactly as I loved the sheer simplicity of the sketch.

Have a good Friday evening!

Get Well Soon

Good afternoon!

I have a little get well card here that I made a couple of days ago...

I have used Summer Silhouettes stamp set and stamped it using my markers. I stamped the lattice stamp off onto some scrap paper before stamping onto my card as the colour was very dark. 

I then triple stamped the little flowers to give a graduating effect. The main flower was coloured on the stamp using Blushing Bride and I then drew in the lines in Chocolate chip before stamping. The border was made using the Needlepoint embossing folder and I cute round the scallops. I finished with baker's twine and a pearl.
